Bell Boy

Lyrics for Bell Boy

A beach is a place where a man can feel He's the only soul in the world that's real But I see a face coming through the haze I remember him from those crazy days Crazy days, crazy days Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces Riding up in front of a hundred faces? I don't suppose you would remember me But I used to follow you back in '63 I've got a good job, and I'm newly born You should see me dressed up in my uniform I work in hotel, all gilt, and flash Remember the gaff, where the doors we smashed? (Bell boy!) I gotta get running now (Bell boy!) Keep my lip buttoned down (Bell boy!) Carry this baggage out (Bell boy!) Always running at someone's bleeding heel You know how I feel Always running at someone's heel Some nights, I still sleep on the beach Remember when stars were in reach I wander in early to work Spend my day licking boots for my perks A beach is a place where a man can feel He's the only soul in the world that's real But I see a face coming through the haze I remember him from those crazy days (Crazy days, crazy days) (Crazy days, crazy days) Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces Riding up in front of a hundred faces? I don't suppose you would remember me But I used to follow you back in '63 People often change, but when I look in your eyes You could learn a lot from a life like mine The secret to me, it ain't flown like a flag I carry it behind this bleeding little badge what says (Bell boy!) I gotta get running now (Bell boy!) Keep the lip buttoned down (Bell boy!) Carry the bloody baggage out (Bell boy!) Always running at someone's heel (ahh) You know how I feel (ahh) Always running at someone's heel
